How Much Did It Cost You To Have Your Springs Installed ?
I got my pro-kit and I`m gonna look for a shop to have it installed. I`d like to know how much you paid for the installation+alignment+whatever else is necessary.
As I shop around for this type of service I`d like to have some baseline price. Thanks!

$0 - Did it myself in under 2 hours. Here - this will guide you through it. Personally, I would not pay a dime for this install, as it is a fairly easy mod to do yourself: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/...edaspring1.htm

As for tools, all you need is a good socket set, a floor-jack and jack-stands. You can pick up a very decent (starter) socket set from Sears, Lowes, etc. for roughly $60 (that’s how much mine ran @ Lowes). I also picked up a cheap-o floor-jack for around $16 @ Weird (Wal) Mart as well as jack-stands for under $10. All-in-all, I spent less than $100 on tools for this project that are an investment and will be used time and time again in the future. The cost for tools is still less than what a shop will charge you. Just my .02.
If you do decide to do it yourself, PM me and I’ll give you my contact info in the event that you encounter issues….

Caster and camber plates with alignment required when installing lowering springs?
Maximum Motorsports says no, but I'd like to hear your comments as well.

josh_0351: I have to get the tools first and from there I`ll see what I can do
Quickshift_02GT: There was a thread about it and If I remember corectly you do not need afermarket cc plates if you are planning on a drop lower than 2" if it is above 2 you need to have more flexible CC plates for alignement.

The skills are minimal, trust me. I’m not the most mechanically inclined, but found this to be pretty easy.
